Social Enterprise capacity building

What makes us the best choice for social enterprise governance advice, training and resources?


We provide a range of training options designed specifically for social enterprises.

Because we understand the social enterprise sector.

In fact, we were one of the first social enterprises and B Corps in Australia. In 2020 we ceased our B Corp accreditation in favour of legally mandating our social mission, becoming one of the first companies in Australia to enshrine our values in our constitution, which states: "commercial imperatives are afforded equal priority to our social mission, our commitment to employees, and our responsibility to the environment in which we work".

Social Enterprise Month: Workshops

In-house training

We have designed and developed a capacity building program for social enterprises based on over 10 years of experience in the sector.

Delivery

In-person workshops

In-person training can be provided for up to 30 participants and we work with you to ensure your key priorities are achieved.

  • Face-to-face training involves a deeper dive into selected topics, incorporating opportunities for interactivity.
  • These training sessions are designed to transmit deep learning without the need for mind-numbing reading or assessments.
  • They’re interactive and practical with actions that can be put to immediate use.
  • We seek to go beyond training delivery and look for ways to ensure lessons are embedded and acted upon.
  • During our training, we encourage participants to identify specific actions that they could take to improve their own governance practices or those of their boards, and we can (if required) follow up later to help consolidate those lessons.

Online workshops

Online workshops can be delivered to up to 200 participants.

We can bring you an information-packed series of online workshops or you can schedule just one. Hear from experts on some of the hottest topics, trends and issues facing social enterprises.
